He looked at the letter and shook his head. 'Always thinking about yourself.' Draco was referring to the way Pansy had addressed it to herself instead of Draco's name on the front. 'Stupid girl' He unfolded it and began to read:

Draco,

I wanted to apologize for my rudeness in the hall tonight its just I saw that mud blood holding your arm and it made me so mad. Are you two together? I am willing to give us another chance. I miss you Draco and I'm sorry.

Always yours,

Pansy

He set down the letter and began to think he decided to write a letter back.

Pansy,

No Granger and I aren't together much to my dismay. You can just call us whatever you and Zach called yourselves behind my back. Before we give ourselves another shot I need some space to think…

Draco

He looked over it one last time until he was satisfied he picked up the owl and let it go out on the balcony. He stood there staring up at the stars, but before he went inside he noticed Pansy's owl coming towards him he took the letter and read it:

Fine Draco have your space with little mud blood bitch, but when you decide you want me back I may not be here.

Pansy

P.S

Zach and I called ourselves fuck buddies.

Draco shook his head in disappointment 'I didn't need to know that.' All the time Draco and Pansy has been together he never once thought about that. He made his way back to Hermione there on the couch she was fast asleep. The fire lit up her beautiful face, he watched her and smiled he went to his room and pulled out a Slytherin blanket and placed it on her sleeping figure. 'Good night Hermione,' he thought as he made his way to his bedroom.

The school year took off on a great start no Dark Magic sightings any where or no suspicious movements. As for everyone else they were wondering if Hermione and Draco were an item now since wherever they went the other wouldn't be too far behind. They didn't even seem to have noticed for the plan was just to show it off to Pansy, but to each other they enjoyed their time together just as friends. Meetings came and went with more ideas about the dance every time. When Draco broke the news about the 7th year couples there were many disappointments for the prefects, 7th year or not had to follow as well.

"So who am I going with?" Luna asked Hermione.

"Well… how about Neville," She smiled at her and she blushed for she knew even though Luna was a bit off that Neville liked her anyway.

"Who will I be going with, because there's no way in hell I'll go with him," Ginny gave an evil look at Flint.

"I wouldn't want to go with a Wealsey anyway! I have Pansy, My love," Zach who was a 6th year didn't care about the rules and neither would is love Pansy so he thought.

"If you don't follow the rules… then leave," Draco got up and Hermione pulled him back down.

"Listen Flint, You're a prefect we need to show our Headmaster respect. He wanted this so please try and be supportive," Hermione looked at the boy who rolled her eyes. 'I hate it when people do that' she thought as she rose from her seat. "Fine have it your way! Get out your no longer the Slytherin Prefect!" with that Flint rose from his chair and started walking out the door, but stopped as he looked at Hermione.

"Pansy is right you are a stupid Mud blood!" Zach looked at her in disgust, but before he turned back around he met Draco's fist in his face. Zach fell back and grabbed his nose and stared at Draco and ran out of the room. Draco smiled at a smiling Hermione as he shook his fist out. Justin got up and closed the door. "Nice one Malfoy!"

"Damn! I have wanted to do that for awhile" The whole grouped laugh and went back to discussing ideas about the dance. On the back of Ginny's mind was 'Who will be the next Slytherin prefect.'

(a/n: I know that there are two prefects per house, but come on this is fanfiction work with me here. )

".".".".".".".".".".".".".".".".".".".".".".".".".".".".".

Draco and Hermione made there way back to their room, but Pansy stopped them and started eyeing Hermione down who grabbed Draco's arm and Draco pulled Hermione in front of him putting his arms around her waist. 'What is he doing?' Hermione thought 'I could get use to this' Draco on the other hand always wanted to do this to her for some odd reason he liked feeling this close to her, her body was warm against his.

"Draco could we talk?" Pansy said as she ignored Draco and Hermione's position

"Go ahead Draco… She can't take you away from me even if she tried," She smiled as she kissed him on the cheek and left them both staring after her. 'Damn...' Draco smiled and remembered Pansy.

"What do you want?"

"I wanted to see if you would go to the dance with me," She looked at her feet

"I'm going with Hermione… you should've already known that," he was still thinking about that kiss.

"Oh okay, because Zach and I broke up so…"

"So what you come crawling back to me." He said disgusted

"No it's not even like that I broke up with his ass because I couldn't stop thinking about you!"

"That's a typical thing to say, Pansy." He began to turn then Pansy pulled him into a kiss and he didn't struggle with is at all. Down the hall Hermione reached the portrait and turned around and caught their kiss. 'I guess there back together' She didn't quite understand why it hurt her so much.

"I bet you liked that!" Pansy smirked

"I had better," He turned and made his way to the portrait as he entered he looked for Hermione, but noticed she wasn't there. He then heard shuffling going on in her room so he guessed she was getting ready for bed. Draco thought of it as a good idea and did the same.

".".".".".".".".".".".".".".".".".".".

She awoke the next morning with the sun in her eye and turned to see what time it was '6:45' I'm going to skip breakfast she waved her wand and her curtains closed. Draco on the other hand was up and down at breakfast stuffing his face full. Pansy walked over and sat next to Draco and watched him eat.

"You're so cute when you eat Draco," She moved to touch his hair, but he moved away "Where's Granger?"

"She's still sleeping. What do you want Pansy."

"I was wondering if you wanted to go for a walk… since it's a Saturday and the sun's out." Draco thought about this until a hooded figure came into the Great Hall causing everyone to stop and look. The hood fell and revealed a tall brunette boy whose hair was slightly covering his blue eyes and he moved it out of the way and made his way to the Slytherin table looking at Draco. Draco smiled and got up and gave his friend a shake and a pat on the back.

"Blaise." He stepped back and looked at his best mate "Where the hell have you been?"

"I'll tell you later man I've got loads to tell you about." He smirked and motioned for him to follow. Pansy on the other hand was shocked at the way Blaise Zabini now looked. He was the second hottest boy to Draco that is. Both who were on the Quidditch team and very built and were like brothers from another mother. (A/n I had to say it) Back in the day they did every thing together even swapped out girls.

Draco walked out onto the grounds with Blaise wondering what his best mate had been up to and why he was so late getting back to school. Blaise had found a place by the tree in front of the lake and smiled up at Draco has he pulled his sleeved up.

"I got my Dark Mark"

Draco stared at it in shock 'How,' but as Draco thought it Blaise spoke up.

"The Dark Lord told me my task and I passed with flying colors so he branded me with his mark."

"It's to early for the tasks to get passed out," Draco looked at his friend and shook his head "How in the hell did you get Dumbledore to excuse you for two months of school?"

"Oh," he chuckled "My Grandmother died and Father wrote to Dumbledore about it and he gave us his sympathy and told me to take as long as I wanted,"he paused "Besides Fathers been disappointed in me lately so I told him I wanted my task now since I wasn't expected at school for awhile." Draco nodded at his friend.

"Good idea, but good luck trying to hide that from Dumbledore," He began looking around the grounds and spotted Potter, Weasley and Hermione. Blaised followed his gaze and stood in his way.

"Are you checking out the Mud blood?"

"Listen Blaise, Hermione and I-"

"Are dating!" Blaised had a shocked face.

"No! let me finish, Pansy cheated on me so Granger is helping me out with some things."

"Damn boy! You tap that shit!" Blaise started nodding his head and smiling at his friend Draco couldn't help, but laugh.

"What was that!"

"Sorry I've been hanging out with the DeathEaters." He turned and faced Hermione.

"So what's up?"

"I don't know..."

"Your falling for her... aren't you?"

"No... it's just she's a nice person once you look past her blood status. Come on she's not that bad looking either."

"Not bad looking? Grangers HOT!" Draco looked at him and gave him a serious look.

"Look Blaise let me feel since you've been away. Pansy cheated on me for Flint -"

"Zach Flint...Damn."

"Yeah, and Hermione and I are The Heads. Fletchy, Loony Lovegood, and The Weasley -"

"Girl or boy?"

"Girl."

"So who's the Slytherin's prefect?" Draco looked at him and an idea sparked in his mind.

"You are Zabini." He looked at Draco with confusion.

"Flint used to be the prefect, but Hermione kicked him off due to attitude problems."

"Oh okay whatever." Blaise looked at the happy Gryffindors laughing and chatting away having no worries in the world.

There were still so many questions that Draco wanted to say and ask Blaise, but he figured he'd tell him and Draco would ask when the time was right. Draco really wanted to know what the task was, but he knew no Deatheater was allowed to speak of their duties assigned by the Lord.

"""""""""""""""""""""""""""""

Draco watched Hermione from across the field and noticed Blaise looking that way too. He was thankful for a friend like Blaise for he was there for him no matter what decision he made, thats what best mates were for. He understood Draco like the back of his hand no questions asked. As they both watched the Gryffindors they couldn't help, but feel a little jealousy inside them. Draco looked at the sky 'Great riding conditions.' Draco felt a jab in the ribs.

"Ow! what was that for?" Blaise had pointed at a certain red headed girl just coming out of the doors. "What... That's Ginny Weasley."

"Ginny..." He smiled at Draco "She sure grew up."

Draco laughed.

"You know I support you and Hermione...yes I said Hermione damnit" Blaised laugh at himself hoping Draco took the hint.

"Let's go I'll introduce you two." Draco began walking towards the group.

"You can't just walk up to them!" He began running after his friend.
